Why dont you just get a used steel tank online and do swap and not worry about losing your shinny aluminum tank, unless you want your tank to be part of your home decoration. If you are willing to pay them $180 for a 5lb, I will sell you my 10lb steel tank for $100 delivered.

oh and that chelsea place? that's the cost for just refills, not purchasing that 5lb tank.

so anyhow i just pulled the trigger on an online purchase for $66 shipped for a 5lb - i figure it'll come the same time the bettatail regulator will, i'll head over to chelsea for that 20some buck fillup, and bingo - aluminum tank filled for 80 bucks.

aluminum is lighter, good because i'll be backpacking it in the subway. also, better Wife Acceptance Factor in the living room, can't hide it anywhere!

There is 2 locations. I called the one in Bkyn and the other is in Staten Island. The guys reports they usually switch cylinder if I want to fill it to come before 1PM. It cost $32.55 for the fill of a 10lb tank.

Air weld in maspeth is the one I go to....you can swap or do a refill, your choice at that specific location, just have to make sure the guy who fills up the tanks is in at the moment and not out to lunch.
